are maximum Limit values documented somewhere? (lemmy.ml)

The Limit property is just a number, but it is different for different API endpoints. I'd like to have a list of the different values so i can easily stay within the max for each endpoint. Are the values documented somewhere? From the official js-client docs site, not even a given endpoint documents its maximum.

I JUST FOUND IT!!! https://join-lemmy.org/api/interfaces/LocalSiteRateLimit.html

Every instance sets own rates limit. You can get ALL RATE LIMITS for a specific instance through that enpoint.

Edit: When finding something in the docs you were looking for feels like an accomplishment, something's wrong with the docs :D.

Here's an example for Lemmy.world:

hm, yes but they're rate limits, not the maximum values that can be passed to the limit param. they must be different because my rate limits are post: 6, comment: 6, and that's definitely not the max value for limit for fetching those items.

Ah, damn. Well back to trial and error I guess.
